Top 20 Sustainable Homes | Living Green

Green, this word sounds so calm and perfect – here in Antarctica, we don’t see much of it. This is the reason why we love the sound of it. Ever since I was a kid I’ve been dreaming about becoming an architect, but we lazy penguins are good in swimming & fishing. I recall the feeling of enjoying an architect project that includes everything: “efficiency”, “sustainability”, and “creativity”. Presently, sustainability is crucial and of great interest since it gives way to positive ecological approaches in building & architecture. For that reason I put together a list with the top 20 ecological homes.
